A Master in the world of Bubblegum past away this week. Walter E. Diemer past away at age 93. He was consider the inventor of modern day bubblegum.
***A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHT***
YES, IN THIS DAY AND AGE
WHERE MOST PEOPLE WISH THAT
WE WOULD PUT THE PENNY TO
SLEEP OR THAT THE PALTRY RED
CENT WOULD JUST DISAPPEAR
FROM THEIR POCKETS. IN AN ERA
WHEN KIDS DON'T GET A THRILL
OUT OF WATCHING THE RAILROAD
TRAIN FLATTEN THEIR PENNY
WITH IT'S CRUSHING WEIGHT.
WHEN NO LONGER DO WE SEE THE
BIG KIDS PITCHING THE PENNY
IN THE ALLEY. WHEN TODAY THE
PENNY WEIGHT AND FORTUNE
MACHINE ONLY VALUE IS, THAT
IT IS AN ANTIQUE. IS THERE A
PLACE WHERE THE PENNY CAN
STAND ALONE? HAVE A GOOD
REASON TO EXIST? HEAR JUST
ONE SOMEONE SAY, "DO I HAVE
ONE, OR EVEN BETTER, BOY I
WISH I HAD
ONE."
WELL THERE IS SUCH A PLACE
WHERE A PENNY CAN PURCHASE A
`MOMENT OF DELIGHT'. WHERE IT
HAS THE POWER TO PROCURE
SOMETHING THAT CAN GIVE YOU
INSTANT SATISFACTION,
GRATIFICATION. AND GOOD OLDE
SIMPLE PLEASURE. YES, THE
PENNY STILL, ON ITS OWN, CAN
MAKE WEEPY CHILD LAUGH. IT
CAN MAKE THE HALOTOAST
ADULTS FUN PEOPLE TO TALK
TO. A PENNY CAN PUT A SMILE
WHERE A FROWN MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
MAKE CHILDREN JUMP FOR JOY.
AND CREATE A SPARKLE IN THE
EYE OF THE ADULT AND CHILD
ALIKE.
RIGHT NOW YOU MUST BE
SAYING, "WELL, WHERE IS THIS
PLACE. HOW DO I GET THERE?
WHAT DO I LOOK FOR?"
OR, MAYBE YOUR THE WARY
KIND AND MUST BE SAYING "IS IT
LEGAL? IS IT SAFE? CAN ANYONE
BUY IT? MUST YOU SEND AWAY FOR
IT? HOW OLD DO I NEED TO BE TO
OBTAIN SUCH A PRODUCT?"
WELL ENOUGH OF THIS
GIBBERISH. WHAT CAN THIS SMALL
YET SO POWERFUL TIDBIT BE? WHAT
IS THIS DELICACY THAT THE LOWLY
PENNY CAN PROCURE.
THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS BUBBLEGUM,
THE PENNY PIECE OF BUBBLEGUM.
THINK ABOUT THE FIRST TIME YOU
WERE GIVEN A PIECE OF BUBBLEGUM.
REMEMBER, YOU BIT DOWN AND
THEN CAME A CURIOUS SENSATION.
NEXT THE JUICES THAT BURST
FORTH FILLED YOUR MOUTH WITH
ECSTASY. WITHIN SECONDS ALL
YOUR EMOTIONS WERE OVER-
WHELMED WITH UNKNOWN
EXCITEMENT. EVERYTHING WAS
RIGHT. CAN WE AFFORD TO
TATTER SUCH A MEMORY. SO
THINK TWICE FOR THERE IS MUCH
TO BE SAID FOR THAT RED CENT.
WHO CAN FORGET THE GREAT
BUBBLE BLOWING CONTESTS WE
HAD AS CHILDREN. WAS THERE
ANY BETTER WAY OF MAKING A
NEW FRIEND THAN SHARING A
STICK. HAVING TO WEAR IT ON
YOUR NOSE BECAUSE YOU FORGOT
TO BRING ONE FOR THE TEACHER.
OH YES, THERE ARE MANY FOUND
MEMORIES IN THOSE PIECES OF
SAVORY JUICE.
AND REMEMBER THAT
BUBBLEGUM IS A GREAT SUPPORTER OF THE ARTS. SOME OF
OUR FINEST HUMOR CAN BE FOUND
INSIDE IT'S WRAPPERS. STUDY
THE ART WORK PRINTED ON IT'S
COVERING BEFORE YOU CONSIDER
GETTING RID OF THE COPPER
HEAD. SOME EVEN HELP WITH
ORGANIZING OF YOUR DAY WITH
THEIR FORTUNES AND
ASTROLOGICAL SUMMARIES. THEN
THERE IS THE BODY JEWELRY
FREELY GIVEN IN THE FORM OF
DECORATIVE TATTOOS.
WE MUST KEEP THE LINCOLN
HEAD OR DARE I SAY, THE PENNY
PIECE OF GUM MAY VANISH OR AT
LEAST BECOME A NICKLE.SO
THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU CURSE
THAT ONE CENT PIECE. YOU OWE
IT TO THE PENNY. IT IS AN OLD
FRIEND.
